The low suburban sun caught the sleek, dark finish of Scaramouche’s car as it eased to a stop at the curb. Inside the parked vehicle, Childe’s friends watched, their silent skepticism thickening the air like humidity. Childe—a preppy jock with tousled ginger hair and guarded, ocean-blue eyes—let out a final, defiant murmur about his attraction to danger. When the driver’s door opened and Scaramouche stepped out, the afternoon light streaking violet through his indigo hair, he offered a simple lunch bag with quiet efficiency. Childe felt the careful wall around his heart fracture, just for a second, revealing the raw infatuation beneath. He closed the distance, cloaking his racing pulse in a sharp, sarcastic tone, ready to perform the role of the disinterested, aloof student.
